Insurance won't cover the surgery unless it is medically necessary. That generally only happens if you have long term severe rashes that a doctor can attest to.

not in New Jersey, but more and more people choose to travel to Mexico for these kind of procedures. honestly, the prices are half than in US and the surgeons much more experienced. Placidway can help with this

Did you call your insurance company and ask if is is covered? If so, they should have a list of doctors on their plan. Or just start calling doctor's offices and ask.

You could also ask on the NJ forum, if you have not already done so. Good luck.
